Doolittle Outlines Postwar Air Force Plans Before Congress
Lt. Gen. James H. Doolittle told the Senate Military Committee that postwar Air Forces should number 400000 officers and men with a million in reserve under a single national defense department where air power rivals Army and Navy. He urged keeping 5000 warplanes ready and argued for aerial national guard units as the defense backbone. He predicted a future war using robotic, radar guided projectiles with atomic or stronger weapons and said battleships would be obsolete while carriers peak. Congress also heard on farm parity prices and a wage increase proposal for textile workers.
